Got sick of looking at this site in my tabs. I'll go back and add them individually. One day.
There are nearly 2000 sites there related to medieval history. Guess someone had no life...
I'm being lazy. I've been going through and saving these sites individually but I'm sick of looking at them. I'll come back later and finish the job.
There are heaps of sites there on ancient history.
Has gazillions of articles from journals and other places in the form of downloadable pdfs. Very useful site for historical research and of course looks perfectly legal...
Still into the wikis. This collection doesn't show evidence of much development yet, however it could grow into a quality collection in future. Some of the topics are a little obscure. 'A History of Nejd'. Not quite sure on that one.
I thought I'd added these already to the group, however the Diigo toolbar tells me I hadn't and he's never to be doubted. Please don't ask how I know the toolbar is male.
These collections are well-organised and high-quality. Focus on the US (for obvious reasons).
Has plenty of links to sites with historical images; very useful when creating resources for classes. I'm into Wikimedia stuff tonight. Sorry if you hate it.
"The Memoro Project is a non profit online initiative dedicated to collecting and divulgating short video recordings of spontaneous interviews with people born before 1940. An editorial staff identifies and authenticates the material uploaded by the volunteers involved in the project. The Memoro Project was created by Memoro S.r.l. with the financial support of the Province of Cuneo, Italy. [...]"
"These volumes are the logs (navigational records) and journals (narrative accounts) of naval officers of ships engaged in exploration and surveying, which were used by the Hydrographic Office to produce charts and other data. Most of the logs were kept by naval captains, masters, lieutenants and masters' mates, although there are a few logs which were kept by boatswains or assistant surgeons. Amongst this collection of Royal Naval logs, there are a several logs which were kept by merchant ships. "
I know I'd already added this page to the group, however the resources that ordered arrived recently and they are so cool I decided to add it again.
Most def worth a look for all the history peeps. The students dig it. You feel me?
"ODS covers all types of official United Nations documentation, beginning in 1993. Older UN documents are, however, added to the system on a daily basis. ODS also provides access to the resolutions of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council and the Trusteeship Council from 1946 onwards. "
A cornucopia of history sites that I got from the excellent NCSS History group. If I was a really diligent group member I would save them each individually. But I'm not.
How cool is this? A (hopefully legal...) collection of free documentaries. There are 61 full-length history documentaries at the moment including 'Fog of War', a documentary about the Kennedy administration.
A useful resource for engaging with Gen Y. The rap isn't bad (I think) and the quality of the historical information is quite good for a middle or high school level. They aren't free however they're not too expensive either.
